Leo, bedding compound is fairly easy to remove. Use a heat gun to heat it up and it will come out with a bit of work. Clean it out till you get down to the the original stock. The lack of adhesion by the epoxy is far more likely to be the result of oil on the plastic not being removed with alcohol and no purchase holes being drilled into the stock. It may also have something to do with the type of epoxy used but I have bedded lots of plastic stocks with Devcon, Marine Tex, Micro Bed and a few others and never had an issue with the bedding holding.
I am fairly near to you, if you need a hand PM me.
